I had to verify the answer, how funny is that? Yes, apparently winter became official Dec 21. Where I'm from (currently on the other side of the country) there is no "winter season" so I'm unaware it's official start date. But I can tell you it's cold! Says it's 32 F out there right now.

Wassup man? Has 2022 surprised you yet?

Oops that's pretty cold 🥶

2022 started pretty well.
I'm back at the Seminary already, you know what that means

Soak it up.

Remind me what you're studying again and do you have an idea how long you'll attend?

Aye 😅

So here is the thing.

I graduated from the University a couple of years ago. I studied library and information Science. It is required in my country that every graduate complete a compulsory one year national service. (NYSC).
I was posted to serve in a Seminary, this one.

Inside story, only for dandays and @rubido

I at the cusp of applying for the Seminary to become a Catholic priest. It's the big secret that might take me away from everything.

You both heard it first, cos yous are the real MVPs

Are you fuckin with me?

That was the exact reaction I was expecting f😅

Whatever you decide will be the correct choice. Nothing in life is forever dude, even my tattoos will be all but forgotten in less than 100 years.

A "homeless" guy named Mark once told me:
Home is in the intellectual capacity to be happy.

Damn that's a big move, I will say be 500 percent certain it's what YOU want. Not the seminary, not family or friends.
I know a few Priests very well, one said something that stuck with me years ago.

I joined the church to find god, but it took 40 years of service to learn I didn't need to search.

He had retired from active duty, but he did the christening service for my son.

So I guess to sum it up. You have talent and skills you can grow.

I would ask yourself some big questions before making that leap. I ain't here to say it's a good choice or a bad one. Just make sure you get it right.

Eeessssh

This is a shit lot to think about.
